Mk 13 Air Dropped Torpedo
"Dave Deep" wrote in message ... Ahh but the closer you get to the target the longer you are exposed to enemy fire & the higher the chances of losing an expensively trained crew plus the aircraft; Far better to waste multiple torpedoes saving the crews & AC for further missions. DD Agreed, but as I stated earlier, air dropped torpedoes were launched at 1,000 yards or less. I'm not advocating launching closer, I'm simply asking why the torpedo's speed and range wasn't better matched to how the actual launch range... KB
